Lovely Spring Wedding

I love it when I get BSWOW submissions from photographers! It's so sweet when they nominate their couples for features! This wedding comes from Jessica Miller Photography. This couple managed to pull of their beautiful and lovely spring wedding for 115 guests at only $5500! Some words from their photographer, Jessica, “This was a May wedding full of sunshine (if you know Ohio weather- you can consider yourself extremely lucky to be blessed with this). With a full city backdrop, gorgeous flowers and a couple as lovely and genuinely amazing as Meredith and Eddie, it was sure to be a day to remember. Meredith is one of those people who brings the sunshine with her presence, so it's no surprise it was a perfect day for her. It was astonishing when you learned that there really weren't Columbus' most expensive top tier vendors involved- this wedding was completely a collaborative effort between family, friends and loved ones. And while one might think that would make the day more stressful, it actually made for an extremely relaxed and joyful experience.” Take a look for yourselves, hope you enjoy this installment of the BSWOW! 🙂
